Description

Tech Level: 12-13

Picotechnology was three orders of magnitude smaller than nanotechnology. With it, the structure of atoms could be altered by manipulating the energy states of electrons. This allowed for people to produce metastable states with highly unusual properties. This created new more exotic forms of atoms. This led to the creation of metastable rocket fuels for space travel. Another application was teleportation. It was now possible to teleport macro-scale objects as small as a grain of sand and retain their structure. Picotechnology also helped mind uploading enter the mainstream. At the same time, picotechnology was becoming smaller and smaller. Soon, femtotechnology would be born.
